मेरे जीवन का लक्ष्य 

पूर्व चलने की बटोही,

बाट की पहचान कर लो

जीवन एक यात्रा  है। इस यात्रा मे हर यात्री मार्ग निश्चित कर के अपने-अपने लक्ष्य की तरफ बढ़ता है। किसी का लक्ष्य है इंजीनियर बनना, किसी का डॉक्टर, किसी का अध्यापक, किसी का नेता और किसी का अभिनेता। मै भी चाहता हूँ की मैं अभी से अपना लक्ष्य निर्धारित कर लूँ और उसी लक्ष्य को पाने के लिए निरंतर संघर्ष करूँ। मै जानता हूँ कि लक्ष्यहीन जीवन उस नाव की तरह है, जो समुद्र के थपेङो से टकरा कर भँवर मे डूब जाती है। अतः मैने तो अभी से ही अपने जीवन का लक्ष्य निर्धारित कर लिया है। मै चाहता हूँ कि मै एक चिकित्सक बनूँ। देश तथा समाज की सेवा करूँ। कोई चिकित्सक जब गरीब को सांत्वना दे कर उचित परामर्श (सलाह) दे कर उसे नवजीवन प्रदान करता है, तो मेरी भी इच्छा होती है - कारा मैं भी चिकित्सक होता और देश के दरिद्र नारायण की सेवा कर सकता। अभी तो मैं अपने लक्ष्य की निचली सीढ़ी पर हूँ। परन्तु मै निरंतर प्रयत्नशील हूँ कि मै अपने लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने मे सफल हो सकूँ। इसके लिए मुझे जी तोड़ परिश्रम करके अच्छे अंक प्राप्त करने होंगे। तभी मेरी साधना पूरी होगी। मै केवल जनता की चिकित्सा ही नही करूंगा वरण उनके पोषण तथा परिवार कल्याण के विषय मे भी उन्हे जागृत करूंगा। मै अपने आचरण मे गुणो का विकास करूँगा, जो एक सफल चिकित्सक मे होने चाहिए। मै सहानुभूति, सहनशीलता, विनम्रता, परोपकार आदि गुणो को अभी से अपनाने का प्रयास करूँगा। मुझे विश्‍वास है कि मैं अपने लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने मे अवश्य सफल हो जाऊँगा। मानवता की सेवा करना ही मेरा परम कर्तव्य होगा। तभी मेरा जीवन का लक्ष्य सार्थक होगा।

 व्यायाम के लाभ||Essay on Vyayam ke labh in Hindi

कहा जाता है कि इसमें ‘स्वस्थ शरीर में स्वस्थ मस्तिष्क का निवास होता है।’ सत्य ही है यदि शरीर स्वस्थ है तो मन भी प्रसन्न रहता है। हर कार्य स्फूर्ति और लगन से करने के लिए हम। तत्पर रहते हैं। बीमार व्यक्ति सदा तक तक सा रहता है। और वह जीवन के आनन्द से वंचित रह जाता है। अतः ठीक ही कहते है कि जान है तो जहान है। शरीर को स्वस्थ रखने के लिए नित्य व्यायाम करना बहुत आवश्यक है। व्यक्ति चाहे कितना भी पौष्टिक और स्वादिष्ट भोजन क्यों न खाए जब तक वह खेले कूदे नही या व्यायाम न करे, तब तक शक्ति संवर्धन नही कर सकता । व्यायाम से मांसपेशियाँ मजबूत होती है। रक्त का प्रवाह तेज होता है, पाचन शक्ति ठीक रहती है, अस्थियां मजबूत होती है। पसीना आने से अन्नावश्यक पदार्थ शरीर से बाहर आते है, त्वचा स्वस्थ बनती है, भूख बढ़ती है तथा शरीर मे स्फूर्ति बनी रहती है। व्यायाम से शरीर ही नही मन भी पवित्र और शुद्ध बनता है। महात्मा गांधी नियमित व्यायाम पर बल देते थे। व्यायाम करने से मनुष्य दीर्घायु होता है। अतः प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को नियमित व्यायाम करना चाहिए। व्यायाम करने वाले व्यक्ति को किसी भी बीमारी का शिकार नहीं बनना पड़ता। व्यायाम के अनेक लोगों को देखकर कहा गया है –

                                            नेम से व्यायाम नित कीजिए 

                                            जीवन का सुधा रस पीजिए 

Essay On Swadesh Prem in Hindi

 स्वदेश प्रेम || Essay On Swadesh

Prem in Hindi

स्वदेश प्रेम का अर्थ है अपने देश से प्यार अथवा अपने देश के प्रति: श्रद्धा । जो मनुष्य जिस देश मैं पैदा होता है, उसका अन्न-जल खा पी कर बड़ा होता है, वही पढ़ लिख कर विद्ववान बनता है, वही उसकी जन्मभूमि है । प्रत्येक मनुष्य अपने देश से प्यार करता है । वह कही भी चला जाए, संसार भर की खुशियाँ तथा महलो के बीच मे क्यों न विचरण कर रहा हो, उसे अपना देश की प्रिय लगता है। देशभक्त सदा अपने देश की उन्नति के बारे मे सोचता है। हमारा इतिहास इस बात का साक्षी है कि जब-जब देश पर विपत्ति के बादल मंडराए, जब-जब  हमारी आजादी को खतरा रहा, तब-तब हमारे देश भक्तो ने अपनी भक्ति भावना दिखाई।  सच्चे देश भक्त अपने सिर पर लाठियाँ खाते है, जेलो मे भी जाते है और हंसते-हंसते फांसी के फंदे चूम उठते है।

महात्मा गाँधी, जवाहर लाल, सुभाष चंद्र, भगत सिंह, लाला लाजपत राय, चन्द्रशेखर आदि देश भक्तो ने आजादी प्राप्त करने के लिए सच्चा देश भक्त दिखलाया । वे देश के लिए मर मिटे पर शत्रु के आगे झुके नही । उन्होने यह निश्चय किया था कि

                सर कटा देंगे मगर सर झुकाएंगे नहीं।

जो कुछ हमने प्राप्त किया है तथा जो कुछ हम बन पाए है, इन्ही के परिणाम स्वरूप हम स्वतंत्रता मे सांस ले रहे है। इसलिए इन वीरों से प्रेरणा ले कर हम भी निस्वार्थ भाव से अपने देश की सेवा करने का प्रण करना चाहिए तथा अपने देश की रक्षा करनी चाहिए।

Parents inability to say No

 Q. You are Aniket / Ankita, a student representative in a parents orientation programme. You have to write an article for the school magazine about parents and their inability to say no. They seem to be raising children, who respond greedily to the advertisements aimed right at them. Now psychologists, educators and parents think it is time to stop the madness and start teaching kids values like hard work, contentment, honesty and compassion. Psychologists say that parents who over-indulge their kids set them up to be more vulnerable to future anxiety and depression. Write this article in about 150 - 200 words.

The “Yes” Epidemic: Are We Over-Indulging Our Children?
By: Ankita

As a student representative, I’ve observed a growing trend: the “yes” epidemic. Parents, driven by love and a desire to provide, often struggle to say “no”. This has led to a generation of children bombarded by advertisements, responding with insatiable greed.

The consequences are alarming. Psychologists and educators warn that over-indulgence breeds not happiness, but anxiety and depression. Children raised without boundaries struggle to cope with the realities of life, often feeling entitled and unfulfilled.

It’s time for a change. We must shift our focus from material possessions to core values like hard work, contentment, honesty, and compassion. These are the building blocks of a fulfilling life. Instead of shielding our children from disappointment, we should teach them resilience and the value of earning what they desire.

Let’s replace impulsive purchases with meaningful experiences, and instant gratification with the satisfaction of achieving goals through effort. By teaching our children to appreciate what they have and strive for what truly matters, we empower them to lead happier, more balanced lives.

Growing distance in relations in world

 Q. You are Mansi/Manas. Many of your friends flaunt latest gadgets gifted by their parents on their birthdays or various other occasions. On asking further you come to know that they hardly spend any quality time together. Write an article in 150-200 words for your school magazine regarding the growing distance in relations in this modern world.

The Glitch in our Connections
By Mansi/Manas

Our world is increasingly adorned with the latest gadgets. Birthdays and celebrations often involve the unveiling of a new phone, a sleek laptop, or the trendiest smart watch. While these devices are undoubtedly useful, I’ve noticed a concerning trend. Many of my friends, while thrilled with their new acquisitions, admit to spending less and less time with their families. The shiny new gadget becomes a substitute for shared experiences, conversations, and genuine connection.

It’s as if the digital world is creating a growing distance in our real-life relationships. Families are physically present, yet mentally miles apart, engrossed in their individual screens. Dinner tables are silent, replaced by the glow of phones. Weekends are spent indoors, glued to games or social media, instead of creating lasting memories together.

This isn’t a condemnation of technology. Rather, it’s a plea for balance. Let’s not allow gadgets to replace the warmth of human interaction. Let’s prioritize quality time with loved ones, fostering deeper connections and cherishing the moments that truly matter. Let’s remember that the best gifts aren’t material possessions, but rather the gift of time and togetherness.

Industrialization and Environmental Pollution

 Q. You are a resident of Sundergarh. Your area is known for its scenic beauty and pollution free environment. The government has proposed to set up a chemical factory in your area. You are worried about the consequences which will affect your area adversely. Write an article on ‘Industrialization and Environmental Pollution’ for your school magazine using the hints given below.

Hints:
➢ Industries are the biggest source of environmental pollution.
➢ Smoke, Chemical waste and poisonous gases are released.
➢ Destruction of the beauty of the place.
➢ Results in water and land pollution, leading to diseases.  


Industrialization and Environmental Pollution: A Threat to Sundergarh’s Beauty
By: 

Sundergarh, our home, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and pristine environment. We cherish the clean air we breathe and the natural beauty that surrounds us. However, the recent proposal to establish a chemical factory in our area has cast a long shadow over our idyllic existence, raising serious concerns about the detrimental effects of industrialization on our environment.

Industries, while vital for economic growth, are unfortunately the biggest culprits in environmental pollution. The very processes that drive industrial production often unleash a torrent of pollutants that wreak havoc on our ecosystem. Factories release vast quantities of smoke into the atmosphere, laden with harmful particulate matter and greenhouse gases. This not only contributes to air pollution, causing respiratory problems and other health issues, but also exacerbates global warming and climate change.   

Beyond air pollution, the discharge of chemical waste from factories poses a grave threat to our water and land. Untreated effluents often find their way into our rivers and groundwater, contaminating these vital resources and poisoning aquatic life. The dumping of toxic waste on land can render it infertile and contaminate the soil, posing risks to agriculture and the food chain. The proposed chemical factory in Sundergarh, if not carefully managed, could have devastating consequences for the health of our environment and the well-being of our community.   

One of the most heartbreaking consequences of unchecked industrialization is the destruction of the very beauty that makes places like Sundergarh so special. The construction of factories, the clearing of land, and the pollution they generate can scar the landscape, diminishing its aesthetic appeal and robbing us of the natural wonders we hold dear. The tranquility and serenity that define our area are threatened by the prospect of industrial development.

The pollution caused by industries has far-reaching consequences, extending beyond the immediate environment. Contaminated water and land can lead to a host of diseases, affecting both humans and animals. The health of our community is inextricably linked to the health of our environment, and we must be vigilant in protecting it from the harmful effects of industrial pollution.   

We, the residents of Sundergarh, are not opposed to progress, but we believe that development should not come at the cost of environmental degradation. We urge the government and the proponents of the chemical factory to prioritize environmental protection and implement stringent measures to minimize pollution. We must ensure that industrial development is sustainable and that the beauty and health of Sundergarh are preserved for generations to come. We must act now, before it is too late, to safeguard our precious environment from the perils of unchecked industrialization.

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth will make the whole world go blind

 Q. You are Kamakshi / Kuber. You have been selected to represent your school in an All India Creative Writing Competition organized by the Lions Club, New Delhi. The topic for the competition is ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth will make the whole world go blind’. Write an article in not more than 200 words on the given topic.

I.

An Eye for an Eye: A Path to Darkness
By: Kamakshi 

The age-old adage, “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth”, echoes through history, seemingly a just call for retribution. Yet, it is a philosophy that plunges the world into an abyss of vengeance.

True justice is not about mirroring harm, but about healing wounds. When we retaliate in kind, we perpetuate a cycle of pain, breeding resentment and fueling further conflict.

Each act of revenge blinds us, clouding our judgment and obscuring the path to reconciliation. 

Instead, let us strive for empathy and understanding. Let us break the chains of vengeance with forgiveness and compassion. Only then can we hope to create a world where justice is not about inflicting pain, but about fostering growth and harmony. 

II. 

An Eye for an Eye?

(Kamakshi/Kuber)

The age-old adage, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," presents a stark image of retributive justice. While seemingly balanced, its literal application would leave the world sightless and toothless. This very absurdity highlights the inherent flaw in the concept.   

True justice isn't about mirroring the initial harm. It's about breaking the cycle of violence. Retaliation breeds resentment, fueling further conflict. Instead of escalating the pain, we should strive for understanding, empathy, and ultimately, forgiveness.   

Restorative justice, focusing on healing and reconciliation, offers a more constructive path.

It acknowledges the harm done but prioritizes repairing the damage and reintegrating the offender into society. This approach, though challenging, offers a genuine chance for lasting peace. Blind revenge only perpetuates suffering. It’s time to choose a path illuminated by compassion, not vengeance.

Title: An Eye for an Eye, and a Tooth for a Tooth Will Make the Whole World Go

Blind

By: Kamakshi/ Kuber

Quotes Beginning:

"An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind."- Mahatma Gandhi

Introduction Line:

With time, various issues have impacted human society, but one of the most

thought-provoking ideas is whether revenge is the right approach to justice. The phrase "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" suggests that seeking revenge

for every wrong can lead to a cycle of destruction, leaving everyone harmed. It

highlights the importance of peace and forgiveness in a world that often leans

toward retaliation

Body Lines:

Features:

○ Retaliation only leads to more hatred and suffering

○ Taking revenge does not bring justice; it only fuels conflict.

◦ The world has seen wars and violence due to the pursuit of revenge.

Peace and forgiveness create stronger societies and better relationships

○ Learning to resolve conflicts through dialogue prevents unnecessary harm.

Role:

• Promoting peace prevents unnecessary violence and destruction.

Justice should be based on fairness, not personal revenge

History has shown that nations collapse when they act out of hatred.

• Understanding and dialogue can heal even the deepest wounds

A society built on mutual respect and forgiveness thrives in the long run.

Solution/Conclusion:

The world should realize that revenge is never the answer. Instead of retaliation,

we must focus on conflict resolution through peaceful means. Hate should not be met with hate, but with wisdom and patience. If everyone chooses revenge, no

one will remain unharmed. Only through peace, understanding, and forgiveness

can we build a better world.

Ending Quote:

Violence breeds violence, but love and understanding have the power to heal

even the deepest wounds.

Internet Surfing and Online Safety: A Teenager’s Guide 
By: Abhay/Apurva

The internet has revolutionized how we access information and connect with the world. As computer science students, we understand its immense potential. However, this powerful tool also presents risks, especially for teenagers. Navigating the online world requires caution and awareness. Therefore, it’s crucial to adopt safe internet practices.

One of the most important rules is to never disclose personal information. Avoid sharing your name, address, phone number, school, or any details that could identify you. Think twice before posting anything – once online, it can be difficult to remove.   

Secondly, Meeting online acquaintances in person is extremely risky. No matter how friendly someone seems, don’t agree to meet them without first discussing it with your parents or a trusted adult. Online identities can be deceptive.

Never send your picture or any personal documents to anyone you meet online. These can be misused or shared without your consent. Remember, what goes online stays online. Protect your privacy.

Furthermore, Your password is your digital key. Don’t share it with anyone, even your closest friends. Regularly update your passwords and choose strong, unique ones. Be wary of phishing attempts – these are tricks used to steal your login information.   

By following these guidelines, we can harness the power of the internet while staying safe. Remember, online safety is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s make the digital world a secure and positive space.

How Advanced Technology Has Added Man’s Problems

 Q. Read the following headlines which highlight concerns about the rising environmental pollution. On the basis of these inputs write an article on “How Advanced Technology has added to Man’s Problems”.

HEADLINES
• Cattle die after consuming polythene bags
• Oil spill in the sea threatens sea life
• CFCs cause a hole in ozone layer
• Over use of Chemical Fertilizers threatens human food chain and water bodies
• Increase in asthma cases in children
• Man becoming too much dependent on machines
• Robots replacing human workers
• Threat of nuclear war / disaster  

The Price of Progress/ The Double Edged Chip 
By:  

Technology, while offering advancements, has also created significant problems. Pollution is a prime example. Plastic waste, a byproduct of technological progress, kills livestock and pollutes oceans. Oil spills, often from technologically advanced tankers, devastate marine life. CFCs, once prevalent in refrigeration, damaged the ozone layer. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers, while boosting crop yields, pollutes water bodies and disrupts ecosystems. Air pollution, worsened by industrial emissions and vehicles, contributes to respiratory illnesses like asthma.

Beyond the environment, technology impacts society. Automation, while increasing efficiency, leads to job displacement and economic inequality. Over-reliance on machines can diminish human skills and create a sense of detachment. Perhaps the most alarming threat is nuclear technology, which, despite its potential for energy production, carries the risk of global catastrophe.

In short, while technology offers solutions, it also generates new challenges. A balanced approach is crucial, one that prioritizes sustainability, environmental protection, and social well-being alongside technological advancement. We must learn to use technology responsibly, mitigating its negative impacts to ensure a healthy planet and a thriving society. 

Extra:

* The advancements in technology have brought about numerous benefits and convenience for mankind. However, these advancements have added to man’s problems.

* Technology plays a dominant role in lives. The rapid progress in the technology has undoubtedly transformed our lives, bringing about unprecedented convenience, efficiency and innovation. However,  

* In today’s world, advanced technology has brought about many conveniences and improvements in our lives. However, it has also contributed to several environmental problems that threaten our health and the planet.

* In the modern world, technological advancements have significantly transformed various aspects of human life. While technology has brought about numerous benefits, it has also contributed to serious environmental problems that threaten the health of our planet and its inhabitants. 

* Furthermore, the overuse of technology has also had a devastating impact on our health. The rise in asthma cases in children is a direct consequence of air pollution caused by factories and vehicles. A sedentary lifestyle, resulting from our increasing reliance on technology, has led to a surge in obesity and other health issues.

Fashion and clothing has always been an important part of the society. Fashion has become a passion today. We live in the era of globalisation and liberalisation. People in India have started following foreign lifestyle from eatables to gadgets. They have even started dressing in foreign trend. And minimal clothing is one of them. Minimal clothing simply means a minimum amount of clothes in body. Crop tops, sleeveless, off shoulders etc. are some of the most popular trends in case of minimal clothing and it is very common and popular among girls.

Modern generation is of the view that (it is a part of modern lifestyle.) it is in accordance with modernisation. (it is a part of modernisation.)

Fashion trends generally change in every season and it is merely a tactic to sell clothes. If one wears clothes they are comfortable and confident in, they will automatically look good and smart or nice. OR they feel honored and pleased.

Online shopping, its impact on retail stores

 Q. The trend of online shopping has increased in recent times with the increase of e-commerce and digital technology.

The Growing Trend of Online Shopping and its Impact on Retail Stores

By: Mahima Chowdhary

The rise of e-commerce giants like Alibaba, Amazon, Flipkart, and eBay has revolutionized the way we shop. With a few clicks, we can access a vast array of products, compare prices, and enjoy quick delivery right to our doorstep. This convenience has undeniably increased the popularity of online shopping.   

However, this convenience comes at a cost. Local retailers are facing significant challenges. The ability to easily compare prices online often leads consumers to choose the cheapest option, regardless of where it’s sold. This price competition forces retailers to lower their margins, impacting their profitability. Moreover, the influx of online products can leave retailers with unsold stock, resulting in substantial losses.

To survive, local retailers need to adapt. They must invest more time and resources in marketing efforts to attract customers, such as targeted advertisements and engaging in-store experiences. Building strong customer relationships and offering personalized services can also help them differentiate themselves from online competitors.   

II.

The internet has revolutionized how we shop. E-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and countless others have made it incredibly easy to buy almost anything we need, or even just want, without leaving our homes. We can compare prices across different sellers, find deals, and have items delivered right to our doorsteps, often within a day or two. This convenience is a major draw, especially for busy people or those who live far from shopping centers. It's no wonder online shopping has become so popular.  

However, this surge in online shopping has a significant downside for local retail stores.

These businesses, often small and family-owned, find it incredibly difficult to compete with the sheer scale and lower prices offered by online giants. They can't match the discounts, the variety, or the speed of delivery that online platforms offer. As a result, many local shops are struggling to stay afloat. They face declining sales, unsold stock piling up, and ultimately, the threat of closure. This not only affects the shop owners themselves but also the wider community, leading to job losses and a less vibrant local economy. Retailers are now forced to spend more time and money on advertising and marketing to try and lure customers back, but it’s a tough battle against the convenience and reach of online shopping.  

III. The Digital Revolution: How Online Shopping is Changing the Retail Landscape

By: [Your Name], Class XII

The world of shopping has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years, thanks to the rise of online platforms.
As a Class XII student, I've witnessed first hand how e-commerce has become an integral part of our lives. With just a few clicks, we can access a vast market place of goods and services, often at prices lower than traditional brick-and-mortar stores. This convenience is undeniable, especially for busy students juggling academics and extracurricular activities. Online shopping saves us time and effort, allowing us to compare products and find the best deals from the comfort of our homes.   

However, this digital revolution has a significant impact on local businesses. Small shopkeepers often struggle to compete with the scale and discounts offered by online giants. This can lead to the closure of local stores, impacting communities and reducing the personal touch that comes with traditional shopping.

While online shopping offers undeniable benefits, it’s crucial to recognize the importance of supporting local businesses and maintaining a balance between the convenience of e-commerce and the vitality of our high streets. As consumers, we hold the power to shape the future of retail by making informed choices about where we spend our money.

The Growing Trend of Online Shopping and its Impact on Retail Stores.
By: Mahima Chowdhary

In today’s digital era, the trend of online shopping has become increasingly popular. With the rise of e-commerce websites like Alibaba, Amazon, Flipkart, and eBay, people can now shop for anything they desire with just a click of a button. This has not only changed the way people shop but has also impacted the business of local retail stores.

One of the major reasons for the growing trend of online shopping is the convenience it offers. People can browse through a variety of products, compare prices, and make a purchase without leaving the comfort of their homes. With quick and efficient delivery services, online shopping has become a preferred choice for many.

However, while online shopping has its advantages, it has also led to an economic loss for local retailers. With the rise of e-commerce, many retail stores are struggling to compete with the discounts and offers provided by these websites. This has led to a decrease in footfall and sales for traditional brick and mortar stores. Moreover, retailers are also facing the challenge of left-over stock. With the rise of online shopping, people are more likely to buy products online rather than in physical stores. This has resulted in retailers being left with a huge amount of unsold stock, leading to a significant loss for their business.

Another impact of online shopping on retail stores is that they have to invest more time and money in advertising to attract customers. With the competition from e-commerce websites, it has become crucial for retailers to promote their products and offers to stay relevant in the market.

In conclusion, while online shopping has many benefits, it has also significantly impacted the business of local retail stores. It is important for retailers to adapt to the changing market and find ways to stay competitive in order to survive in the age of online shopping.

Additional points/ideas:
[E-commerce giants like Alibaba, Amazon, Flipkart, and eBay have made it possible for us to shop for products from all over the world, compare prices and get quick delivery.]

[While this trend of online shopping has made our lives easier, it has also had a major impact on retail stores. With the convenience and variety offered by online shopping, more and more people are turning to it, resulting in a significant economic loss for retailers. The left-over stock in the stores becomes a huge loss for them as they are unable to compete with the prices and offers provided by online retailers. Moreover, online shopping also leads to customers spending more time browsing through various products and advertisements, making it difficult for local retailers to attract customers. This has a direct impact on their business and livelihood.

In conclusion, while online shopping has its benefits, it is important to consider the impact it has on local retailers. As responsible consumers, we should try to strike a balance between online and offline shopping, supporting our local businesses while also enjoying the convenience of online shopping. After all, a vibrant local market is essential for a healthy economy.]
